The matter concerning Lin Ya'er was settled, with the little dumpling and the elder to study at the Shennong tribe.
Lin's mother, Ouyang Xinlan, and Daji would accompany them, also to recuperate at the Shennong tribe, perhaps even contributing to the population growth of Great Shang.
As everyone chatted, the void trembled again.
The ancestor of the Shennong tribe chuckled and said to the crowd, "Let's go, little ones, let's go out and see."
With that, he took the little dumpling and slowly walked out.
Chang Ruo and Cao Yu were stunned and said in surprise, "They're quite efficient, bringing back the main bodies too."
They also followed the elder's footsteps out.
Lin Zhan and the young Taoist priest exchanged a bewildered glance: "Main bodies?"
Then they too followed the crowd out.
Stepping out of the room, Lin Zhan and the others saw the four Emperor-level beings of the Shennong tribe break through the void and emerge.
One of them carried a giant tree, while the other three carried a giant man-eating flower, a strangely shaped giant centipede, and a colossal Emperor-level wild boar.
The young Taoist priest looked at the giant wild boar, and involuntarily, saliva dripped down. "Holy crap, no wonder the Shennong tribe likes to trade people for wild boars. Turns out they're professional pig farmers."
The four Emperor-level beings from the Shennong tribe threw their prey aside and said to the elder, "Greetings, Old Ancestor. The four Emperor-level beings from the Treant Plane are all here, captured alive by us."
"They are the Golden Silk Agarwood at the peak of the Emperor level, the Demonic Man-eating Flower and Poisonous Fog Centipede at the middle stage, and this Black-bristled Wild Boar at the early stage. Old Ancestor, how do you wish to deal with them?"
The elder chuckled and walked to the four giant creatures. With a wave of his hand, the four giants woke up.
The Golden Silk Agarwood looked at the ancestor of the Shennong tribe with a strange expression, then seemed to remember something.
He said in terror, "You... you are that Old Ancestor? Your destiny is not apparent now. How can you come out?"
The elder still chuckled:
"I have made great contributions to the heavens, so destiny does not rest upon me. Therefore, I can come out to wander whenever I please."
"I see you have good bloodline. Are you willing to cultivate with me in my spiritual garden?"
The Golden Silk Agarwood quickly transformed into the form of an old man and prostrated himself before the ancestor of the Shennong tribe: "The Golden Silk Agarwood clan is willing to cultivate under the Old Ancestor."
Lin Zhan was stunned. "Holy crap, this ancestor is too amazing. He subdued an Emperor-level peak being in just a few words. If it were our old ancestor, he'd probably have to beat him up first before he'd be willing to follow him. This must be a matter of personality."
Then, he looked at the Poisonous Fog Centipede and the Black-bristled Wild Boar next to them and walked towards the two giant beasts with a smile.
"Hey, let's talk. You two, follow me. I guarantee you'll have plenty to eat and drink."
The Poisonous Fog Centipede and the Black-bristled Wild Boar exchanged a glance, thinking, "Where did this idiot come from? He can't even tell who's who."
Then, they said to Lin Zhan impatiently, "Scram."
"Alright."
Young Master Lin left without a word.
The Black-bristled Wild Boar was stunned, then said to the Poisonous Fog Centipede, "It seems he really is an idiot."
Lin Zhan walked to Chang Ruo and Cao Yu and said, "Old Ancestor, beat them for me."
Chang Ruo and Cao Yu looked at the elder of the Shennong tribe. Seeing that the elder had no objections, they both transformed into muscular men again, grabbed their bricks, and charged towards the Poisonous Fog Centipede and the Black-bristled Wild Boar.
After a while, Lin Zhan saw that the fight was almost over and walked up to the two giant beasts again.
"How is it, brothers? Have you thought it over? Want to join me?"
The Black-bristled Wild Boar, with rags stuffed in its nose and one of its tusks broken, said pitifully, "I'll join you, but you have to promise not to kill and sell my clansmen for meat. Then I'll follow you."
Before Lin Zhan could speak, the ancestor of the Shennong tribe said, "Lin kid, I need to take this big wild boar with me. You can keep some of your foundational resources and the Emperor-level ones."
"As for this Poisonous Fog Centipede, this old man knows what you plan to do. I'll take it back to the Shennong tribe. You can come and get the finished poison directly."
Lin Zhan listened and said with satisfaction, "Then I'll trouble you, Grand-Ancestor. Thank you for your hard work."
The elder shook his head and said, "It's all for our human race. I know your plans. I'll leave this Treant Plane to you and have Big Brother and the others guard it for a while longer."
Lin Zhan was stunned. "Who is Big Brother?"
The eldest of the four Emperor-level beings from the Shennong tribe came out with a dark expression.
"If I hear you call me Big Brother again, don't blame me for beating you. My name is Lie Shan Yu. These are my three younger brothers, Lie Shan Zhou, Lie Shan Hong, and Lie Shan Huang."
Lin Zhan was stunned, then said with admiration, "Universe, Flood, Deluge, Desolation. What powerful names!"
Lie Shan Yu nodded and said, "Of course. These names were personally given to us by the Old Ancestor."
Then Lie Shan Yu looked at the man-eating flower that no one wanted. "Old Ancestor, what should we do with this dog-tail flower? Kill it?"
The man-eating flower quickly shook its head. "Old Ancestor, Old Ancestor, don't kill me. I'm still useful. I can... I can... Right, I can catch mosquitoes." Sudan Novel Network
Everyone was instantly dumbfounded, looking at this shameless man-eating flower. "Catch mosquitoes? You're a man-eating flower!"
The ancestor of the Shennong tribe said with a dark expression, "Forget it, let's keep it. Let it guard the Treant Plane. It will prevent the tribes below from fighting. Also, the nutrient fluid secreted by the man-eating flower is the best fertilizer for some spiritual medicines. So, don't kill it."
The Demonic Man-eating Flower instantly transformed into a woman and prostrated herself, saying, "Thank you, Old Ancestor, thank you for sparing my life."
The elder of the Shennong tribe turned to the four giant beasts and said, "Each of you should make arrangements for your tribal authority. Those who are to be integrated into the Shennong tribe should be brought in. If you have any matters, find this little fatty."
Then the elder said to Chang Ruo, "Chang Ruo kid, accompany me on a trip. We'll go to your Great Shang ancestral court for a stroll, and I'll also meet the parents of the little dumpling."
Chang Ruo nodded respectfully, then broke through the void and entered with the elder, who was pulling the little dumpling.
Lin Zhan turned to the young Taoist priest and said, "Brother-in-law, you've really latched onto a super-powerful backer this time."
The young Taoist priest chuckled, "Hehe, they're all grand-ancestors. Who recognizes whom? Besides, my brother and I are inseparable."
Lin Zhan nodded. "Alright, stop being so talkative. Quickly contact the arsenal and the logistics department, and have Old Ancestor Liu Heng bring his men over. We'll start developing this new plane."
